Employee Handbooks:Required Changes for 2017 and the Most Common Mistakes

If your employee handbook hasn't been updated in the past six months, it's out of date. And the expected flood of workplace-law changes coming in the Trump Administration will demand constant compliance vigilance from HR. Here are some current handbook trouble spots:

Rewrite your anti-discrimination statement to include sexual orientation and transgender discrimination, based on new EEOC actions.

Your social media policy is probably out of date. Here's why you need a new policy on smart devices.

A few wrong policy words may be illegally restricting employee discussions on pay and benefits.

Vague policies on overtime and off-the-clock work can trigger million-dollar verdicts—especially with the new overtime rules in limbo.

Benefits and FMLA policies should be updated to reflect the new rights of same-sex married couples.

The wrong words in a loyalty, no-gossip or civility statement could land you in court.

Your employee handbook can be an invaluable organizational tool … or an employment lawsuit waiting to happen. And in recent years, Congress and state legislatures have been busy enacting laws that directly affect your employee handbook. If you haven't kept up, you could find yourself in court.

On Thursday, January 26, join nationally recognized author, educator and attorney Anniken Davenport for her popular interactive webinar Employee Handbooks: Required Changes for 2017 and the Most Common Mistakes.

Join us to find out how the new trends and regulations affect you. In this fast-paced 75-minute session, you'll discover:
